Abstract :

Critical investigation for M-20 grade of concrete to study the compressive strength, flexural strength and tensile strength of fibrillated polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PFRC) containing fibers of 0%, 0.25% and 0.4% volume fraction of fibrillated polypropylene fibers of 15mm, 20mm and 24mm length were used. For compression test, the cube (15cmx15cmx15cm) and Cylinders (10cm diameter and 20cm length) were used. For splitting Test, Cylinders (10 cm diameter and 20 cm length) were used. A result data obtained has been analyzed and compared with a control specimen (0% fiber). A result data also compared between three different fibers strength. A relationship between Compressive strength vs. days, and tensile strength vs. days represented graphically. Result data clearly shows percentage increase in7 and 28 days Compressive strength and Tensile strength for M-20 Grade of Concrete.
